Parent Resources
Parent Toolkit
www.parenttoolkit.com
Provides families with useful tips and tools to support your growing child at all ages.
The Toolkit focuses on many aspects of your child’s development, because it is all connected. Healthy, successful children can excel in many areas – in the classroom, on the court, and in their relationships with peers and adults. The site was created with experts across the country including classroom teachers, college professors, pediatricians, dieticians, psychologists, and parents, to make the resource as robust and useful as possible.
